Compton, Arthur Holly Click here for full size picture (b. Sept. 10, 1892, Wooster, Ohio, U.S.d. March 15, 1962, Berkeley, Calif.), American physicist and joint winner, with C.T.R. Wilson of England, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1927 for his discovery and explanation of the change in the wavelength of X rays when they collide with electrons. This so-called Compton effect (q.v.) is caused by the transfer of energy from the photon to the electron. Its discovery in 1922 confirmed the dual nature of electromagnetic radiation as both a wave and a particle. Compton, a younger brother of the physicist Karl T. Compton, received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1916 and became head of the department of physics at Washington University, St. Louis, in 1920. From 1923 to 1945 he was professor of physics at the University of Chicago. In 1941 Compton was chairman of the committee of the National Academy of Sciences that studied the military potential of atomic energy. In this capacity he was instrumental, with the physicist Ernest O. Lawrence

    Compton, Arthur Holly 1892-1962, American physicist, b. Wooster, Ohio, grad. College of Wooster (B.S., 1913), Ph.D. Princeton, 1916. He was professor and head of the department of physics at Washington Univ., St. Louis (1920-23), and professor of physics at the Univ. of Chicago (1923-45), where he helped to develop the atomic bomb.

    Compton, Arthur Holly
    US physicist who in 1923 found that X-rays scattered by such light elements as carbon increased their wavelengths. He concluded from this unexpected result that the X-rays were displaying both wavelike and particlelike properties, since named the Compton effect. He shared a Nobel prize 1927 with Scottish physicist Charles Wilson. Compton was also a principal contributor to the development of the atomic bomb.
    The behaviour of the X-ray, previously considered only as a wave, is explained best by considering that it acts as a corpuscle or particle - as a photon (Compton's term) of electromagnetic radiation. Quantum mechanics benefited greatly from this interpretation. Further confirmation came from experiments using a cloud chamber in which collisions between X-rays and electrons were photographed and analysed.
    Compton was born in Wooster, Ohio, studied at Princeton, and worked 1919-20 in the UK with nuclear physicist Ernest Rutherford at Cambridge. His academic career in the USA was spent at Washington University, St Louis, 1920-23 and 1945-61, and at the University of Chicago 1923-45.

    Compton, Arthur Holly
    Pendant 1930-1940, Compton a mené une étude mondiale des variations géographiques de l'intensité de rayons cosmiques, ainsi confirmant entièrement les observations faites en 1927 par J. Argile d'Amsterdam de l'influence de latitude sur intensité de rayon cosmique. Il pourrait, cependant, montrer que l'intensité était corrélée avec géomagnétique plutôt que la latitude géographique. Cela a provoqué les études vastes de l'interaction du champ(domaine) magnétique de la Terre avec l'arrivée isotropic le flot de particules chargées primaires.
    Compton a de nombreux papiers sur le rapport(record) scientifique et il est l'auteur de Radiations Secondaires Produites par des Radios (1922), des Radios et des Electrons (1926, la deuxième édition 1928), des Radios dans la Théorie et l'Expérience (avec S. K. Allison, 1935, c'étant l'édition revue et corrigée de Radios et Electrons), la Liberté d'Homme (1935, troisième édition 1939), Sur Entrée à l'université (avec d'autres, 1940) et Homme Signifiant de Science (1940). On a attribué de nombreux titres honorifiques à docteur Compton et d'autres distinctions incluant la Médaille d'or Rumford (l'Académie américaine d'Arts et des Sciences), 1927; médaille d'or de Société Radiologique d'Amérique du Nord, 1928; Hughes Médaille (Société Royale) et Franklin Medal (Franklin Institute), 1940.

    Dr. Arthur Holly Compton
    Dr. Compton's association with the University began when he was appointed Wayman Crow Professor of Physics and Chairman of the Physics Department in 1919. During his four years as a faculty member Dr. Compton did the experimental work which resulted in the award of the Nobel Prize for Physics (1927), being the first Washington University faculty member to be so honored. At one point Dr. Compton left Washington University and for a time worked at the University of Chicago, ultimately to return to Washington University in 1945 to serve as Chancellor. During his eight years as Chancellor, Dr. Compton brought many outstanding faculty members to the University, particularly in the sciences, and in so doing began Washington University's rise to national prominence. Below is a graphic depiction of The Compton Effect for which Dr. Compton received the Nobel Prize. Perhaps you will note a similarity to our departmental logo.

    Compton, Arthur Holly (1892-1962), físico y premio Nobel estadounidense, cuyos estudios de los rayos X le llevaron a descubrir en 1922 el denominado efecto Compton. El efecto Compton es el cambio de longitud de onda de la radiación electromagnética de alta energía al ser difundida por los electrones. El descubrimiento de este efecto confirmó que la radiación electromagnética tiene propiedades tanto de onda como de partículas, un principio central de la teoría cuántica.
    Compton nació en Wooster (Ohio) y estudió en el Wooster College y en la Universidad de Princeton. En 1923 fue profesor de física en la Universidad de Chicago. Durante su estancia en esta universidad, Compton dirigió el laboratorio en el que se produjo la primera reacción nuclear en cadena. Compton también desempeño un papel destacado en el desarrollo de la bomba atómica. Desde 1945 hasta 1953 Compton fue rector de la Universidad de Washington y después de 1954 fue catedrático de Filosofía Natural. Por su descubrimiento del efecto Compton y por su investigación de los rayos cósmicos y de la reflexión, la polarización y los espectros de los rayos X compartió el Premio Nobel de Física de 1927 con el físico británico Charles Wilson.

    Arthur Holly Compton
    Arthur Holly Compton was born on September 10,1892 in Wooster, Ohio. After graduating from Wooster College, Compton attended Princeton University and received his Ph.D. in 1916. Compton served as head of the physics department at Washington University from 1920 until 1923. In 1923, Compton joined the faculty at the University of Chicago and resumed his work on X-rays. His research focused on the changes that take place in the wavelength of X-rays when they collide with electrons in metals. The "Compton Effect" provided proof that electromagnetic radiation possesses properties of both waves and particles. This work earned Compton the 1927 Nobel Prize for Physics , which he shared with Charles T.R. Wilson. In 1941, Compton became chairman of the National Academy of Sciences' Committee to Study the Military Potential of Atomic Energy. The committee's work contributed to the development of the Manhattan Project. In 1942, Compton was asked to direct the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago, where the first self-sustaining atomic chain reaction occured. At the end of the war, Compton became chancellor of Washington University. He retired from this position in 1953, and remained at the school as a professor of natural history until 1961.
